Waking the Phoenix by Lindsay Avalon!

Welcome to the official cover reveal of Waking the Phoenix, book 2 in the Mythrian Realm series! Waking the Phoenix is the highly
anticipated follow up to Breaking the
Nexus, which released on 12/12/12. While there is no official release date
set, Waking the Phoenix will be out
early this summer!

In the meantime, I will be releasing Warrior Unleashed, a novella featuring Sha’s half brother, a
panther Chimerae (shifter) named Achaius. Be sure to look for that this April!

As the Nexus continues to break down, evil threatens the
Mythrian and Human Realms. Millennia ago, only the sacrifice of the Great
Phoenix was enough to imprison Ferren, a blood mage with the power to destroy
the Human Realm. When the Nexus falls, his prison will shatter and he will be
free to walk the earth once more, leaving a path of destruction in his wake.

Chaos engulfs the Mythrian and Human Realms as Ferren fights
to escape his prison. Connor and Sha must race against time to find the last of
the phoenixes before all is lost. There’s just one problem: the phoenixes have
lain dormant for thousands of years. Can they stay alive long enough to save
their world?

The key to saving the Realms lies in waking the phoenix.

Don’t miss the first
book, Breaking the Nexus, available
now on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and in paperback!

Breaking the Nexus will be on SALE for $2.99 March 8-11 only!

Blurb:

A warrior trying to
save humans. A detective searching for a killer. And a powerful romance neither
expected.

Throughout history, myths and legends of extraordinary
creatures have been told and retold. Fantastic tales of demons and banshees,
gryphons and dragons, and of course, magic. Stories that every child grows to
learn are nothing more than fantasy…or are they?

Beyond the world you see lies a hidden realm, the Mythrian
Realm, inhabited by all of the creatures you’ve been told are mere fiction.
Only one thing lies between humans and the truth: the Nexus. A magical barrier
erected millennia ago to separate the two realms, it has stood the test of
time. Until now.

For Mythrian Sha Phoenix, magic is nothing new. But when she
stumbles upon a portal on the verge of collapse, her fate will forever change.
Pulled through the portal into the Human Realm, she lands in the middle of
Detective Connor Flynn’s brutal murder scene. Soon it is obvious someone is using
blood magic to try to bring down the Nexus. Together, Connor and Sha must work
to unravel the secrets before the barrier falls and the realms collide.

I am a wife, a programmer, and now an
author. I have an adorable mini Schnauzer and more books than I have room for.
I love reading romance because no matter what may be happening in my life, I
can always count on my books to end happily ever after. The day I met my
husband was the day I truly began believing in happily ever after. After
hearing me complain a few too many times that I had “nothing” to read despite
the hundreds of paperbacks scattered around the house, my husband began
suggesting I write my own stories. When I finally took his advice I discovered
that although I enjoy my day job as a software engineer, my true calling is to
be an author.

My sister drilled into me an appreciation
for fantasy and mythology, something I try to bring to my books. My debut
novel, Breaking the Nexus started as
a book written for NaNoWriMo and has grown to so much more. It was the conduit
that introduced me to a fantastic group of independent authors who have changed
my life in unimaginable ways.

When I’m not writing, I’ve found a passion
for blogging and interviewing fellow authors. I also love reading, baking,
crochet, sewing sock monkeys, playing video games, and all sorts of random
crafts. I have an incurable love of rubber duckies and stuffed animals, and I
believe nobody should have to grow up if they don’t want.
